Friends of Friends

NOTE: Names of people in this story have been changed to protect the innocent...LOL

When I met "Cher", I was immediately taken by her appearance and demeanor. She was perfect...a healthy, happy, beautiful woman. Once I got to know her, I discovered that she was a quick witted, confident woman with a great sense of humor,who always has an answer for everything. I adore her...:)It wasn't long after I'd met her that she introduced me to her husband, "Sonny". To me, they made the perfect couple and in fact have been together for many, many years. To make a long friendship short, one day I mentioned that I'd asked the Pres to repair one of our old, dilapidated birdhouses. Sonny interjected saying that they would make me one.So, one day, the exchange took place. I bought a jar of the Pres' hot relish in exchange for the most whimsical birdhouse ever!

"You own everything that happened to you. So, go ahead, tell your stories. If people wanted you to think warmly about them, they should have behaved better."....Anne Lamott

BE GRATEFUL...

Gratitude is not only the greatest of all virtues, it is the parent of all others.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.~ Melody Beattie
